The filler post

May 18, 2011

Admittedly, with my work life balance looking as promising as Akmal’s fielding, I can certainly not hope of a waaaay too relaxed time any soon to write a well lit blog post.

So let me for once put random notes, collected over a period of time -

There is something about this song – “Saibo” from the movie Shor in the city. The way the male voice takes over with the ‘Dheere Dheere” note – It sounds so naturally liberating, that I almost feel like flinging my laptop away and giving my vocal chords a heads up!

This is 12.25 in night and the cab driver just mentioned to me that the brake oil doesn’t seem to be working fine.  To a guy, who was minutes before reveling in his favorite song – this assurance was like telling a honeymoon couple that the plane scheduled to land in Dubai is being diverted to rescue some Talibanis out of their hiding before Americans bomb their behinds out.

He added that I should not worry and that he will manage with a clutch and gear combination. I hope he knows what he is talking about.

The citizens of the Great Indian Summers have welcomed me with open armpits; each of which seem to boast of a week’s abstinence from any source of freshness. I know this sounds disgusting. Actually it is even more unsettling! Even the Metro is no respite. I believe that Rexona roll-ons should be distributed as a part of political campaigns. Or maybe a good water supply.

This happened on Gchat:

Me: Dude, tell me something refreshing?
Dude: Nothing except my webpage.
Dude: So now that you are in Delhi, any increase in social life?

    Dood, that thing you pointed out about the song is sooo perfect. It just makes the experience of listening to this song 100 times better. I have played the song in loop for about 25 times since i read that and I am hooked.
    You should be a song analyst :P
